Here’s The Weird Part
There’s some real fun stuff happening with Indiana’s Don’t Feed The Gays law.
Best line all morning: A pizza parlor said they would not cater gay weddings. Robert S. replied on their Yelp! page, “in all my queer life, I’ve never known a gay to cater their wedding with pizza.”
And then there’s Sean Hannity and Dinesh D’Souza discussing the issue. Yeah, sure. I really want to know what a convicted felon and a slickosexual think about this issue. And they do not disappoint.
Duck! Incoming Sharia Law!
Hannity speaketh —
“Gays and lesbians, they might disagree with me on gay marriage, or they might disagree with somebody — a religious person as it relates to their Christian views, but why are they so silent on the bigger issues of the day, which would be taking on radical Islamists?” Hannity asked, noting that gay people and women are mistreated under Sharia Law.
Wait, no Benghazi? Sean is losing his touch. A few years ago, he could have tied Benghazi, Hillary’s emails, and Obamacare to gay marriage.
The fella is slipping. But Mike Pence comes to his rescue.
Indiana Gov. Mike Pence swung back again Monday at critics of the state’s controversial “religious freedom” law, writing in a Wall Street Journal op-ed that Obamacare had made it imperative to ensure that “religious liberty is fully protected under Indiana law.”
Yep, Obamacare.
Thanks to Belle and Scott for the heads up.
Why would I want have someone who hates me make food for me? Think about what they are doing while you’re not looking.
1Stupannity is always on the WRONG side of any issues and cheerleading for the bigots, racists and fascists.
2Assume you guys noticed Pence surrounded by the Anti LGTB folks at the bill signing. See: http://crooksandliars.com/2015/03/mike-pence-surrounded-bigots-when-he
3I’m sure we could work up a similar group if we tried. A) who says that “Biblical marriage” means every married woman will have 299 co-wives and 700 co-concubines, B) who used their radio show to announce that Biblical health care means praying and waiting for a miracle worker to happen by (and if your curably sick child dies in the meantime, you weren’t praying hard enough), C) who leads a group pushing for Biblical vaccination, meaning none, so bring on the polio and smallpox, and D) who leads a megachurch practicing snake handling despite the 47 deaths last year.
4Soooooo If I read this right, in the unlikely event I am ever in Indiana I could just haul off and bitch slap the first 62 year old white male I see and statistically speaking I stand a pretty good chance of hitting somebody that voted for Gov Mike Pence…. Nice…
5Micr, my husband is 62, an Indiana resident, and hasn’t voted R in his whole life, so no you would not.
6Micr, just be sure to get it on your phone and upload here
7In an ideal world those 47 snake bite victims would be those 47 senators.

9Just statistically speaking, as a 62 year old white male who has never voted for a Republican in his life.
Hannity noted that gay people and women are mistreated under Sharia Law. He did that in a discussion about how religious right laws mistreat gay people and women.
So, religious right laws are like Sharia law.
10Some smart fella out there went and founded the First Church of Cannabis. I don’t know if they have a holy book and all, but if they had a bit of scripture calling for adherents to cover these holier-than-thou types in Silly String, instead of selling them lunch or flowers or whatnot? Well, then, that would be protected under that law.
Kinda makes me wanna go start a religion in Indiana with that mandate as a sacrament or sumthin’.
11These fine christian pizza folks also say they will only cater christian affairs like weddings. So, no Jews, no Buddhists, no Hindus and…..wait for it…..no Satanists! And no, I didn’t forget to capitalize Christian. It’s just that they are such very small people they don’t deserve the capital C.
12Has anybody ever known a gay wedding to be catered with pizza?
13I’m gonna say it again. This stuff is usually just a test to see how far they can go cuz their objective is usually to gin up a reason to deny someone something, say like denying handicap parking to the handicapped. I’m not kidding! I’ve heard way too many people who should slap themselves hard when they say it claim that handicapped people are scammers. And from there comes the build up . . .
14It get worse for memories pizza…
Tons of reviews on Yelp which may get cleaned up with Yelps help for a price, Yelp itself is an Extortion Racket….
But Google Reviews has been hit as well and there is no help from Google cleaning that up…
The worst problem by far is that they had neglected to purchase a domain matching their business name. So now there is a website that has been made for them it is NSFW http://memoriespizza.com/ (video at bottom) click at your own risk.
Stupid… Very Stupid…
15They felt compelled to poke the world in the eye.
The world has poked them back very cruelly…
I have never attended a wedding catered by a pizza joint, either straight or gay, so WTFudge? Nice try, hoping to get some free publicity, pizza man. If the wedding menu is pizza, you’ve got more serious issues to deal with. Why not just have hot dogs, mac and cheese and forget the wedding cake, serve brownies. (high fiber of course) Then hop in the truck and head back to live with mom and dad.
16Lynn N.: No, not Sharia law. They want their own version. Let’s call it Charia Law!
17One of the most fun wedding receptions I ever attended was in a pizza parlor! Everyone was relaxed and happy.
18They had the place all to themselves for a period of time. However, pizza was not served. The pizza chefs were very diversified and it was a really great Italian wedding party complete with the usual cake. Ya know, I just don’t understand why someone ran after a pizza maker right off the bat and involved them in this. No imagination? What?
I grew up literally miles from the town the pizza place is in and my family still lives up there. My parents have to drive through that dinky town to get to the next dinky town over where my brother lives. As my mom and dad were driving past there tonight, my dad saw my mom waving her hands. He asked her what she was doing and she said, “I’m flipping those #*!% the bird and I wanted to make sure they saw me.”
***My mom usually doesn’t even say “darn so to hear that she used the f-bomb cracks me up and makes me so proud! True story.
19This will be really interesting as it develops. The Final Four is in Indianapolis and the NCAA and all four coaches have come out against the law. The NFL is also big against discrimination and may pull the scouting combine from there. When you start hurting businesses there by pulling major conventions and events then you end up with one major wing of the conservative movement pitted against the other. With all deference to God, my money is on the people with the money.
Before Reagan, the religious conservatives stayed home on election day. His recruitment of them led to their resurgence and comeback. This latest flap may lead to a schism that will permanently make the Republican party unrecognizable. We may very well look back at this as their Whigs moment.
20The Pizza proprietor has currently made $40,000 from an online fundraising site, since he claims he got threats and had to shut down. He’ll be raking in the greenbacks while cowering at home.
21Its Indiana. They put beans in their chili, so pizza for a wedding makes perfect sense.
